triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Aurora: I was in the pool when the gravity gave out.

Jim: Are you okay?

Aurora: We need to find Gus.

Aurora: Gus! Gus!

Gus: Gravity loss means that whatever's wrong is starting to hit the big-ticket items. Not good. Every failure's a burnt out processor. Everything on board's thinking too hard. Why? Computer, display these failures over time.

Computer: Processing timeline.

Gus: Cascade failure. It started two years ago. Power surge. Seventeen failures in one day. Including hibernation pod 1498.

Jim: That's me. (It) woke me up.

Aurora: What happened that day?

Gus: Something big. A major system went down somewhere. Everything else on board is trying to pick up the load, but the load's too heavy. Whatever started this, we got to find it. And fix it.

Aurora: How bad can this get?

Gus: Give me risk analysis based on this data.

Computer: Extrapolating. A mission-critical failure is imminent. Failing systems. Life Support, Fusion Reactor...

Aurora: So we're stranded on a sinking ship.

Computer: Main Engineering

Gus: There are not a lot of things big enough to hit this ship that hard. With Diagnostics out, we'll have to find it ourselves.

Jim: Where do we start?

Aurora: Gus!


Autodoc: Scan complete. Analyzing data.

Gus: What does it say is wrong with me?

Jim: It's a few things.

Autodoc: 612 disorders found.

Gus: Get me out of here. What's the prognosis?

Autodoc: Critical diagnoses cannot be discussed without a doctor in attendance.

Gus: Override on my authority. ID 2317. Lay it on me, doc.

Autodoc: Pansystemic necrosis. Progressive organ failure. Cause, unknown.

Gus: My goofy hibernation pod. That's the cause.

Aurora: What's the treatment?

Autodoc: Various treatments are possible. None will meaningfully extend the patient's life.

Gus: How long have I got?

Autodoc: Your end-of-life transition is already underway. These sedatives will alleviate your suffering during these final hours.

Aurora: Gus.

Gus: I need a minute.


Computer: We are experiencing difficulties in flight. For your own safety, please return to your cabins.

Gus: I should've took the damn pills.

Jim: I'll go get them.

Gus: No. Stay here with me. Sit down. You two take care of each other. My ID. (It will) get you where you need to go. Fix the ship. Find out what's wrong with her. How do I look?

Aurora: You look magnificent.

Aurora: What do we do now?

Jim: This can't be good. I'm going back to Engineering.

Aurora: Can you fix this?

Jim: I need your help. Let's go.


Computer: Main Engineering

Aurora: Can't we wake up some of the crew?

Jim: It will take too long. We don't have that kind of time?

Aurora: What are we even looking for?

Jim: Something broken. Something big. Come on!
